About James…
Whether you’re 9 or 99, James has got something for you to sing along to. He plays a wide range from The Beatles to Ed Sheeran, to Johnny Cash to Stevie Wonder. As soon as he knew enough words to do so, James began belting his favourite jams at the top of his lungs. Through years of singing in choirs, musicals and featured performances, James has developed impressive vocal skill, often compared by audience members and venue bookers to Michael Buble. A gifted guitarist as well, you may have seen James busking on Granville Island, or at the Water St. Café in Gastown to name a couple. He has also played in a cover band, Common Ground, with his father and a handful of other seasoned musicians all around the lower mainland. But most recently, James has been in the Bahamas working with Royal Caribbean Cruises as a performer on their private destination CocoCay.

"It has been rewarding seeing the various growth and support rendered by James throughout this contract. The heat has not been an easy factor to adapt to, it has presented its challenges in numerous ways, yet James adjusts as best as possible maintaining smiles, waves, and interaction with the guests. I must make mention of the following attributes giving James's credit ot the following: Teamwork and guest experience! James has not only performed his sets, but he has covered for the Capt. Jack guitarist, did extra sets for our guests when it was raining to lastly performing at Hideaway to cover the last set for the On the Rocks band during their sign off. Lastly, dancing and greeting the guests providing a fill in for dancers thus providing a fun Perfect Day Welcome! The pirate performances are always executed with eagerness, delivering special songs to the audience from Birthdays to any occasion. James was also nominated at Royal Way Awards for the Month of July. I wish James continuous success in his future endeavours and thank you for providing the Perfect Day experiences to our guests!"

“James approached 2nd Floor Gastown at the beginning of the summer in response to an open call looking for buskers to play at Water St. Cafe. I run a bookings agency that manages talent at that location, when I heard James play I was delighted to get him onto my roster. He played throughout the summer on the patio of Water St. Cafe drawing in guests on onlookers. The manager raved about him to me and asked me to book him as much as possible. I highly recommend hiring James for any of your music needs.”
